    Barclay and Suter have the same electric chemistry that Small and Parker once possessed, and by the final episode of the season, it feels like they’ve finally found the common ground that sets them up for even better plotlines.

    Lynely will succeed if it mines the differences between Lynley and Havers and leans on the chemistry between Suter and Barclay.

    It’s a beautiful-looking show overall, though there is a stark imbalance to the storytelling in the series, even if it becomes increasingly absorbing along the way. .... The game is not just afoot, but loping along. Happily, there will be more.
